How to recover an old itunes account

So back when I first got an ipod , my parents had it setup, and then gave it to me. That meant that they used their email. After getting a new phone (as well as a new apple id) I realized that I wanted to recover some game data and other apps. Ive tried getting into this email and have not managed to do it. So I am unsure of the password for the apple id, and I cannot send a verification email. I realize now that it was remarkably stupid to just select a random year and month when my birth date was requested. As of now I am locked out of the apple id, with no way of getting in. perhaps if i could answer other security questions it would be a different story, but unfortunately that is not the case. it seems as though I may have to repurchase apps, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know. If i were to call apple support could they manually unlock it? Thanks -Aidan
